A series of hydrocarbons having two carbon atoms (C2-hydrocarbons) such as ethane, ethylene and acetylene, are important starting materials for petrochemical industries. Among them, ethylene, which is one of the most important chemicals for the industries, is mainly produced by cracking of petroleum in Japan. From the viewpoint of the global shortage of crude oil deposits, we are attempting to develop a process for the microbial production of such C2-hydrocarbons from various reproducible resources and waste materials.
